How to Talk to Your Employer About Commercial Cleaning and Reopening During COVID-19

October 13, 2020

There’s no way to sugarcoat the situation; the past few months have completely transformed our society. Now we are entering a new period of uncertainty as businesses and schools across the nation start to reopen, while the dangers of COVID-19 are still very much present. 

As everything starts to return to some sort of normalcy, it’s fair to say there will be many people who are still hesitant, and for good reason. COVID-19 has taken an incredible toll on the American people, with over 7 million recorded cases as of this writing. If you’re one of those people who are still a bit nervous about going back to work on site, it might be time to ask your employer about hiring Image One’s commercial cleaning service. We want to take you through some tips to help you bring up this subject to the right people.

Review CDC and EPA Guidelines for Reopening

First, it’s always a good idea to educate yourself on what is considered a responsible reopening protocol, and the CDC and EPA’s websites are great places to start. On both websites, you will find an abundance of resources and guidelines that they believe put everyone in the best position possible to reopen safely while minimizing risk. This includes a detailed list of hot spots, disinfectant solutions to keep around the office, and much more. Image One’s disinfection and commercial cleaning services make use of hospital-grade solutions approved by the CDC and EPA to kill the COVID-19 virus.

If you want to keep updated on how the spread of COVID-19 might be affecting your local community, WorldoMeters.info/Coronavirus has a detailed analysis of cases by each state and is updated daily. Throughout the entire pandemic, keeping everyone educated about the appropriate procedure has been vital to moving forward safely and effectively. 

Be Honest and Transparent 

One lesson that COVID-19 has taught us is the importance of being cognizant of others and understanding what makes them feel the safest. That’s why we believe one of the best ways to help your employer recognize your concern is by being honest and transparent about how safe you feel. Many people have been adhering to recommendations that say staying indoors in a quarantined environment is the best way to move forward. Now that society is reopening, it’s understandable that those people might be hesitant to rejoin society. Voicing your concerns can never hurt because your situation could differ significantly from the person sitting next to you at work. 

Find a Solution  

The final and most crucial step is to come to your employer with a real solution, and this is where Image One can make a difference. COVID-19 has changed everything we thought was normal about our society, and we still aren’t entirely sure what the ripple effect of this pandemic will be. But, by counting on Image One’s daily commercial cleaning services, you might be able to feel more confident about going back to on-site work in the upcoming months.
